Frequently Asked Questions (National Health Insurance)

QuestionI was injured in a traffic accident. Can I use my Health Insurance Card?

Response

Medical expenses for injuries sustained due to the actions of a third party, such as in a traffic accident, should generally be fully covered by the perpetrator. However, if compensation is delayed, you can temporarily receive treatment under national health insurance. Please note that national health insurance will later bill the perpetrator, so be sure to report this to the Insurance and Pension Division at City Hall.
Please note that if a settlement has been reached or if you have received treatment costs from the perpetrator before notifying the Insurance and Pension Division, you will not be able to receive treatment under the National Health Insurance.
Please check the "Documents Required for Notification" section on the "National Health Insurance Related Forms" page for the complete set of necessary documents for third-party actions.
